Yeah I know "JOHN CENA'S NOT TURNING HEEL"
But I was just thinking back to when Shawn Michaels fueded with Hulk Hogan back in 2005, he turned heel for what like 3/4 weeks, and then as soon as his program with Hogan was done, 1 promo on Raw and he was back to being a face, thats something I'd love to see WWE do, there's no way they can turn him full blown heel at the drop of a hat, because there'd be uproar from both his lovers and haters, but maybe around this time next year I'd love to see WWE test the waters a little, and have Cena have a short 3/4 week heel turn to see how crowd reacts.
What do you guys think?

This sounds like a pretty good idea honestly. I couldn't see Cena as a heel, though. He has had the good guy character for so long, it would be really hard to adjust to him as a heel. Then again, many major faces have turned heel in the past, and it worked out perfectly.

They tried this last year with Cena when he came out as "Dr. of Thuganomics" John Cena and cut that heel free style rap on The Rock. The fans loved it so WWE decided to never do it again.
lol

He will eventually turn heel just give it a few years when Hulkamania *cough I mean the Cenation fans grow out of him. Once his merch isn't selling as much they will eventually switch things up with him. Its all about timing.

He'll still get the same reactions, only flip flopped. The older fans will cheer him and the younger fans will boo him. So I don't really see how a heel turn would change a thing.

They kinda have been testing it. Very awkwardly though.
Theres been a few times over the last couple years where Cena will have a darker moment and instantly speculation pops up here "Cena going heel?"
They havent tried as much as you refer, like a 3-4 week trial, but who knows, it can happen whenever.

Cena will turn a profit the rest of his career. |

If he didn't turn heel against The Rock; chances are he never will. They had the opportunity; the story basically built itself for Cena to turn; and your way would've worked perfectly. He could've run his program with Rock as a heel; then turned face again after he left.

I think it worked with Michaels because Hogan is just loved by the fans. I'm not sure if we got someone like that for Cena to turn with. I think another good idea to test a heel turn would probably be like Punk's really brief turn back in ECW 2006, which lasted about 2 weeks.

He will turn once they have someone who is a %100 guarentee to be the top face. Maybe in a few years, IDK. but i think turning him for a few weeks will just ruin the suprise of him turning heel.
Could you imagine if a year before Hogan joining NWO he turned heel for a few weeks? It wou;ld have taken the suprise out of it.

I see what you're getting at, problem is there's no one big enough for him to turn heel against.
Unless Edge was able to come back from his injuries (which we know can never happen)
Like others have said, even if they did turn Cena full blown heel, it would just make the "adult males over 20" cheer for him because HE'S DUH HEELZ NOAW!!!" and we don't buy a lot of wrestling shirts, and most of the people on this board are sick of seeing Cena figs everywhere so those really wouldn't sell
